Introduction
The Netflow Insights Reporting App provides valuable insights into network data trends and traffic patterns. It enables you to better understand your network’s behavior and make informed decisions to improve efficiency and resource allocation. It offers:
- Data Flow Visualization: Visualizes the flow of data between source and destination points, helping you understand network traffic patterns.
Configuration Parameters
- Client Selection: Select a single client from the dropdown list. Only data for the selected client will be included in the report.
- Select View Type: Determines the output type of the top trends, either in Bytes or Packets traffic.
- Select Category: Select a category of information to be displayed in the report. The report can support one category at a time. Selected Category data is only listed in the PDF or XLSX report.
- Select Device: Select a device from the dropdown.
- Select GroupBy: Organize the NetFlow Data by the selected grouping criteria.
- Supported Analysis Period: The time period over which your environment was analyzed. Supported analysis periods are: Last Hour, Last 4 Hours, Last 8 Hours, Last 24 Hours, Last 7 Days, Last 15 Days, and Last Month.
Note
The analysis period duration should not exceed one month in the last 365 days. - Supported Formats: Reports are generated in PDF or XLSX format.
